Books Galore!

Well its safe to say I love reading. I like the way i can read a book and be completely transported into another world. I can become the main character of the story or feel like I am watching from above.

There is nothing better than the feel of the pages underneath your fingertips.Curling up withe a blanket a cup of tea and a book. Being able to see how far you have read and when you are getting close to the end that feeling that you just don't want it to be over. People keep telling me that an e-reader is amazing but i truly don't think anything could beat the feeling of holding a book in your hands and turning a page. 

So three times a year there is a local book fair to raise money for the Lifeline charity where people have donated their second hand books and you then purchase them and all the money goes back to the charity. My mother and I try to go at least twice a year and as it was the fair was on last weekend and I think we went a little bit overboard. 

My mother and I went on the morning of the first day of the fair and 2hrs later I walked out with 17 books. I know for most people quite a big number but for me this seemed pretty normal as I tend to read quite fast. But then my sister then decided that she would like to go on the last day of the fair, which is half price day, and this is when things went wrong by the end of the day we had counted up our books and between the three of us we had bought 143 books, 41 of which were mine. Oops! 

I must say I have already finished one of the books in 2 days so hopefully it doesn't take me too long to get through them all. 

My pickings from the weekend 

If you have a favourite book let me know! I would love to read some of your suggestions.

Pay it Forward

To start this year off in a loving way I’m participating in this Pay-It-Forward initiative: 5 people that comment on this with "I'm in", will receive a surprise from me at some point in this calendar year - anything from a book, a ticket, a visit, something home grown or made, a postcard, absolutely any surprise!

There will be no warning and it will happen when the mood comes over me and I find something that I believe would suit you and make you happy.

These five people must either make the same offer in their FB status or blog and distribute their own joy. Simply copy this text so we can form a web of connection and kindness.

Let's do more nice and loving things for each other in 2014, without any reason other than to make each other smile and to show that we think of each other. Here's to a more enjoyable, more friendly and love filled year. 

Even if you don't want to commit to giving 5 people a gift, try just doing something nice for someone and not respecting anything in return.


Try it out! 

Things I Learnt In 2013

It gets to the start of a new year and people start to look back and realise that another year has passed and most of us are still stuck in exactly the same place that we started the last year. Of course then we start to feel cup half empty but i have decided to look at this last year as a learning experience. I have decided to be a glass half full person. 

And so in light of this situation i have come up with a trivial list of things that I have come to learn in the past year. 

1. You can put almost any food item in between two pieces of bread and it will taste amazing! 

2. I suck at keeping New Years Resolutions.

3. Painting your nails can be fun.

4. Its ok to sometimes be a diva. 

5. Pamper yourself, it makes you feel better. 

6. Cheap wine can taste better than expensive wine. 

7. I like eating junk food every now and then. 

8. Warm pineapple should NEVER happen!

9. The more expensive someones car sound system, the cheaper their taste in music.

10. Nothing ever beats Tequila.

So that is my list of random things that i have learnt. Let me know if you agree or even if you have any of your own! 

Catch you on the flipside.

My life of people!

I am starting this off with a warning, if you don't like sentimental, emotional things then i would not read any further. For those of you who do and those of you who would like to know about the type of people who make me who I am then please continue reading.

I have always been very lucky in the fact that I have had a great group of friends but there are two of my friends that are my chosen family! I honestly could not Imagine my life without either of them and they have helped me to be who I am! And so we will start with......

Jordan

Jordan and I have been friends since I moved schools at the end of year 8. Although I guess friends isn't the word for it! We bonded in our first music class over Missy Higgins and I guess we got along quite well. As we started to get a bit older it became quite clear that we were no longer what you wool call friends. Jordan (lets not say hated me) strongly disliked me and we went through a good two years not really getting along. And then one day that all kind of went away. We became inseparable and realised that we were pretty much the same person but in 2 different bodies.

Jordan is kind but honest, he will always have your back, he is very loud! He has adopted my love for theatre and surpassed me! He is a fashionista or at least likes to think he is. We can sit around in complete silence watching a movie or we can be as loud as anything trying to control fits of laughter. We usually know what the other is thinking and are not afraid to tell each other exactly what is on our minds. But that is why we work.

Jack

Jack is a fairly new friendship. We have only been good friends for about a year but it feels like I have known him forever. He is in some ways the complete opposite of me. He is shy and sometimes awkward in social situations. But he is funny and smart and we are both complete bookworms! I still find it quite strange that we became such good friends. Usually you will do a show with someone and then you try and catch up afterwards but you feel like you really don't know anything about the other persons life anymore but with us it was different. We could be so content to sit and talk for hours about the most random things. He is my show buddy, the person that i can go with to watch a show or see a movie and know that they are not going to sit there ad ask ridiculous questions or make annoying comments.

I feel like I can trust Jack with absolutely anything and he would be entirely understanding and he would always be there to help me or anyone out. That is what I love about him. 

I thank you both for being absolutely amazing and the best friends I could ask for.

What are your best friends like? How did you meet?
